A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF THE COLES COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
When I reflect on the success of the Master of Science in Healthcare Management program, I am awed by the wide variety of professional backgrounds on display among the students and alumni. Kennesaw State University and the Coles College have developed a truly interdisciplinary program that attracts students from several different fields, all brought together by a desire to enhance patient healthcare out-comes through information and data. Among the students graduating this year alone are doctors, nurses, medical assistants and other professionals working in the healthcare industry. However, the graduating class also includes an entrepreneur, a paraprofessional, and even a career counselor for the U.S. Army Reserves. Few degrees bring so many kinds of professionals together. The MSHMI program continues to attract top-tier students thanks in no small part to the growing net-work of industry partners that have pledged their support to its mission and goals. Our partners are directly involved in every aspect of the program from developing the curriculum and creating professional development opportunities to sponsoring student research projects aimed at solving real-world digital healthcare challenges. As the MSHMI program prepares to welcome its 10th cohort this fall, I look forward to seeing how this new generation of leaders will leave their mark on the ongoing digital healthcare transformation.
